As you may have noticed, recruitment in game at this time is a complete spamfest....Every guild is primarily spamming and that doesnt help anyone. So moving forward, lets try and be more proactive regarding our recruitment. Specifically:

-whisper directly to potential recruits-message potential recruits directly on forums-when doing dungeons, hellgates and other in game activities, please feel free to invite non-guild players to the party and invite them to join us on TS as guests.

The above should be much more effective than spamming forums or in game.

An incentive regarding recruitment: TAW has recruitment awards based on the number of new players that join TAW and reach the rank of PFC.

B) Guild Market & Guild

The guild island has two very important features for guild members:

-Guild Market: allows for guild members to sell items to other guild members at a discounted price of 10-30% of the normal price. The goal is to keep as much of the equipment and silver within the guild as possible.

-Guild Chests: I built 2 chests in the guild house. Those chests are for members to donate any items they don't want to sell for other members to use.

C) In Game Ranks & Guild System

Currently the in game guild system is very bare and almost not useful at all. Complete lack of guild custom permissions, ranks and so forth...I have been told that the devs are preparing a new guild UI/system, so hopefully it will come out soon. In the meantime, we have to do due with what is provided.

So, I have come up with the in game ranks that are going to be used until further notice. You can view them here.

Just a thought... remove the tier I workbench - it is only used on the starter island, no need for it on a guild island, also move over the warrior forge once the workbench is removed. you will have to destroy the forge but since its only lvl 2, its no big deal. Now you will have room for 2 more buildings such as a cook and windmill, or whatever else people would need.

A) The TAW Albion Online Division is brand new both in TAW and in the game, and in order for us to be able to survive, grow and become successful, it is very important for everyone to recruit and help bring new players. Given the importance of recruiting, I would like to announce our first recruitment drive.

The recruitment drive starts on Sunday August 6th and ends on September 6th 2017. The goal is to bring as many new players as possible to TAW and the TAW Albion Online guild. The top 3 recruiters get in game silver as prize.

All the details regarding the recruitment drive are available by clicking here. Good luck to all!!!

B) Effective August 5th 2017, I am opening a Guild Transport Unit. This unit is for guild members interested in making money and playing the game by transporting items from point A to point B. Full details and procedures are available here

1. I am excited to announce that thanks to Draxton, the guild is at T6 level, which means that our guild has now full access to all the guild island features (including a PVP Arena).

2. Thanks to an idea from Deeified, the guild has now its own official Discord server. The server is text only. All voice comms take place on the TAW Teamspeak. The server is active and you can access it here. Appropriate permissions will be given as soon as possible. A few more items on this:

-you must verify your email on Discord-you must use your TAW website name-all TAW & Guild rules apply at all times

3. Reminder that we have a recruitment drive open to all members (recruits are not involved). Further details and prize information available here. Feel free to invite potential recruits on Discord and on Teamspeak.

Below please find some important information related to recruitment, transport unit and discord.

1. Thanks to an idea submitted by Deeified, we are changing our recruitment just a bit. Effective tomorrow, the guild will offer potential new members a 10 day trial in our guild. Officers (me, Draxton, Xaust, Deeified, kpak, Freddy) will invite those players and will keep track of 10 days trial.

If after 10 days, a trial member has not registered on the website and done the TAW Introduction, they will be kicked from the guild roster.

1. The EU Battalion lost Kpak a few days ago. He requested and was granted a discharge due to real life. The new HDI for the EU Battalion is Freddyk. Congrats Freddyk and keep up the good work.

2. Our discord has now a bot called tatsumaki. The bot gives xp and other points for every message you post on Discord. You can see all the available commands at https://www.tatsumaki.xyz/commands.html

4. Lastly, on the guild island, bottom right corner, you will our new equipment storage house for items freely available to members. Also, reminder to check the guild market for items at a lower price.

1. Recruitment drive is going on until September 6th 2017. Full details and instructions available here. We need new NA and EU players, especially EU players. A few additional points about this:

a) Don't hesitate to invite potential players to our discord and on Teamspeak. b) Potential players are now able to join the guild in game and try us without commitment for 10 days, so don't hesitate to invite them to apply in game.

Please tell players to give us 24 hours to accept their in game application. Neither me, nor my staff can be on 24/7

2. Thanks to a suggestion from Seto, we now have a guild island in Caerleon. I have basically moved my own personal island to Caerleon and made it available to the guild. The island is called August1 and construction/upgrade will occur as needed.

3. Reminder for all to check the TAW website for the events calendar. If you cannot attend a mandatory, please make sure to post your excusal.

4. In the play channel, we have 3 important spreadsheets to fill out and keep updated: TAW Albion Resources (with 4-5 tabs at the bottom), TAW Crafting Goals (managed by Seto) & TAW Albion Character. Please update those 3 spreadsheets on a regular basis.

5. Lastly, I would like to strongly encourage all of you to be on Discord (desktop and/or mobile). We are beginning to use Discord on a regular basis to chat about the game, the guild and other stuff. The discord server is here

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor weekend. Now that we are all fully back, I am sending this email to address the recruitment drive and other few items.

1.Recruitment Drive: our first recruitment drive is now officially over. I am sorry to say that although we have gotten recruits, no one is getting the prize because no one filled out the Recruitment Info Form.....

2. Effective September 10th 2017, Recruitment Drive #2 is in effect. Full details are available here. Although the recruitment drive is for all recruits, I would like to ask you to focus your efforts on EU players whenever possible. The EU Battalion needs more members and they could use all of our help in recruiting.

3. Within the next few weeks I will start to clean up our in game roster from people who have not logged in and played with us in weeks.

4. Reminder that all events are back on normal schedule. For exact days/times, please log on the TAW website at taw.net and check the schedule.

On September 27th, a major content is released. Named "Joseph", the content includes PVP Arena and lots of PVE content. Details can be found at https://albiononline.com/en/news/Joseph-Update-Trailer-and-the-Arena-Explained
